2016 Chevrolet Silverado-1500 Air Filter in Murray, UT

The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado-1500’s engine air filter sits inside the intake airbox in the engine bay, secured by clips or screws along the intake tract.

You’ll find the rectangular airbox attached to the intake tube near the front of the bay. Release the fasteners, lift the lid, and the pleated panel filter lifts straight out. Keeping this filter clean helps the Silverado’s V6 or V8 breathe properly on Utah highways and canyon climbs.

• Locate the intake airbox in the engine bay
• Release clips/fasteners and lift the airbox lid
• Install a same-orientation OEM panel filter for proper seal

The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado-1500 was not equipped with a factory cabin air filter; retrofit kits place one behind the glove box in the HVAC housing.

GM omitted a serviceable cabin filter on many 2014–2018 Silverado 1500 trucks. If you’ve added a retrofit door and filter, access is typically through the glove box area. Our Murray service team can inspect your truck and advise whether a retrofit is installed or recommended for local pollen and wildfire smoke seasons.

• Factory trucks: no cabin filter to replace
• Retrofit location: behind the glove box
• We can inspect and install OEM-spec retrofit hardware

The engine air filter protects the engines intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter (if equipped) cleans air for passengers through the HVAC system.

On the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado-1500, the engine filter sits in the under-hood airbox and directly affects performance and fuel economy. Many trucks were not factory-equipped with a cabin filter, but retrofits help reduce dust and odors inside the cabin on Wasatch Front commutes.

• Engine filter: safeguards combustion air and MAF readings
• Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air quality (if installed)
• Both rely on proper sealing and OEM-spec media

Typical engine filter signs include reduced power and lower MPG; cabin (if equipped) shows weak airflow, window fogging, and musty odors.

On a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado-1500, a dark, debris-loaded engine filter can limit intake flow and upset MAF readings, especially after dusty construction zones or mountain trips. Cabin filter retrofits can load quickly during spring pollen or wildfire smoke. If you notice these symptoms, have our Murray team inspect and replace with OEM-spec parts.

• Engine: sluggish acceleration, rough idle, darker filter media
• Cabin: weak vents, increased fan noise, odors (if equipped)
• Visual check: debris in airbox or on filter pleats

Most owners can lift the airbox lid and swap the panel filter at home. Cabin filters require a retrofit to exist and may involve trim access behind the glove box. Our Murray Chevrolet technicians also inspect the airbox seal, verify sensor connections, and properly seat the filter to prevent dust bypass.
